•
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on or off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled by the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the power tool. Such
•
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
•
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
•
affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
•
Keep handles clean and dry to maintain control.
•
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular
type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Battery Tool Use and Care
Ensure switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tool with the switch on invites accidents.
•
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire
•
when used with another battery.
•
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of any other battery pack may create a risk of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal
•
objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
•
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes additionally, seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in a locked off position before making any adjustments or changing accessories. Such
•
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
•
Electric tools will overheat if they remain on when the tool motor is severely loaded, stalled or otherwise kept from rotating. Turn tool off
when this occurs. Continuing to power tool in this condition may result in heat, smoke or fire with injury or property damage.
Disconnect battery pack from tool before storing tool or placing in a tool box or bag. Accidental starting while storing or transporting
•
may cause several hazardous conditions including an overheated tool. Uncontrolled tool operation may cause various hazards including heat,
smoke or fire.
Do not block the housing cooling air holes as this may cause overheating of the tool. Use of the tool in this condition may result in heat, smoke
•
or fire with injury or property damage.
•
The tool may overheat during continuous use or other severe duty cycles. Immediately stop operation and let the tool cool if any part of
the tool becomes too hot to touch or if there is any indication of smoke from the motor. Continuing to use the tool under these conditions will
cause tool damage and may result in injury or property damage from heat or fire.
•
Immediately stop use and replace any battery that gets excessively warm in use or offers very short usage times. Typically these batteries
have a high number of charge/discharge cycles or may be old or damaged. Continuing to use an impaired battery may result in injury or
property damage from heat, fire or explosion.
Do not modify this tool, safety devices, or accessories. Unauthorized modifications may result in electric shock, fire or personal injury.
•
•
Use only accessories that are recommended by Ingersoll Rand for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become
hazardous when used on another tool.
When wearing gloves always be sure that the gloves will not prevent the throttle mechanism from being released. Personal injury may result.
•
•
Do not remove any labels. Replace any damaged label. Labels provide information required for safe use of the product.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
•
power tool is maintained.
When servicing a tool, use only genuine Ingersoll Rand replacement parts and follow all Maintenance Instructions. Use of unauthorized
•
parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
•
Do not dispose of batteries in fire, incinerate or heat above 100 °C (212 °F). Batteries present a risk of fire or chemical burn if mistreated.
•
Responsibly recycle or dispose of batteries in accordance with all applicable standards and regulations (local, state, country, federal,
etc.). Improper disposal may endanger the environment.
Impactool Product Specific Safety Rules
•
Hold tool by insulating gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact
with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
For reversible models, note the position of the reversing mechanism before operating. Knowledge of the direction of rotation helps in
•
maintaining control of the tool.
•
Use only impact sockets and accessories. Do not use hand (chrome) sockets or accessories. They may break in use and cause injury.
Periodically check the drive end of the tool to make certain that the socket retainer functions correctly, and that sockets and drive
•
ends are not excessively worn. Either condition may allow the socket to come off when rotating.
•
Impact Wrenches are not torque wrenches. Connections requiring specific torque must be checked with a torque meter after fitting
with an impact wrench. Improperly torqued fasteners may loosen and cause injury.
Exposed throttles shall not be used where obstructions can hold the throttle in the "on" position. You may not be able to turn the tool off.
